In mathematics, the term adjoint applies in several situations. Several of these share a similar formalism: if A is adjoint to B, then there is typically some formula of the type
(Ax, y) = (x, By).
Specifically, adjoint or adjunction may mean:
Adjoint of a linear map, also called its transpose in case of matrices
Hermitian adjoint (adjoint of a linear operator) in functional analysis
Adjoint endomorphism of a Lie algebra
Adjoint representation of a Lie group
